SONG OF THE HENPECKED.
0 her hair is as dark as the midnight wave,
And her eye is like kindling fire,’ _
And her voice is sweet as the spirit 5 Voice
That chords with the seraph s ly re-
But her nails are as sharp as a toasting fork,
And her arms as strong as a bear’s:
She pulled my hair and gouged my_eye.
And she kicked me down the stairs.
I’ve got me an eye that’s made of glass,
And 1’ve got mea wig that s new.-
The wig is frizzled in corkscrew curls, .
And the eye is a clouded blue.
She may shake her knuckles full in my face,
And put the lamp to my beard.
And hold the broomstick over my

But I am not a bit afeard—— V
For I've bound her over to keep the peace,
And I’ve bought me a crabtree cane,-
Tlie justice will come and the constable too,
Ifshe rneddles with me again.

FALLING IN LOVE BY THE: EARS.
Two Italian gentlemen, who were wid-
owers and great friends, took It into their
heads that their only children, Giovanni
and Erniiiiia, should inarr_v. As the boy
and girl were very young, and their fathers
knew enough oftlie perversity of human
nature to be assured that if Giovanni was
brought tip with the idea that he ought to
fall in love with Erminia, he would assur-
edly hate her, and Erininia, for her part,
out of pure contradiction, would feel ex-
ceedingly iucliticd to be passionately in
love with sortie one else; the parents re-
solved that their children should not see
one another until they had attained the a-
ges of sixteen and sevonteait.
Notliiiig’was neglected in the education
of those children, and as the parents of Gi-
ovanni aiidErminia were great musical arn- ‘
ateurs, it was natural that their talents
should take that bcut. At fourteen Gio-
vaiirii played and improvisatised on the vi-
oliti with the utmost taste and feeling, and
Ermiriia performed equally well on the
piano. During two or three years those
talents were cultivated by tlic'~best inas-
ters Florence could furnish. Signor Al-
dini, the father of Giolvanni,wlicn he saw
that his son had attained a fine height, had
a cliarming address, and the utmost sweet-
ness oftetnper, was in a great hurry to in-
troduce him to his future wife, who he was
sure could not help becoming passionately
attached to him; but Signor Mancini,
who saw all the opening graces and {em}.
nine beauty ofhis l;.iniiniti, with at least as
much pride, was afraid that his young
dauglitcrinialit wish to make other con-
quests before she _VlClLlt!d her hand to Gio-
vanni, if her heart wa.-: not secured by
some stratagem. An odd idea entered his
brain, and on conimuiiicating his project to
his friend, it met with his entire approba-
tion. The eyes, until this coiitrivance,
were coiisidercd the only way by which
love has been first communicated to the
heart; but these Italian gentlemen were
determined to find if there was not a road
by the car. They had two rooms pre-
‘pared, by removing the wall that separated
them ; in its place a tapestry was extend-
ed on each side, and in order that the in-
habitants ofthose apartments should not
contrive to get a sight of each other by
making an aperture, an iron grate screened
with cloth was put between the tapestry-
walls, which were more than two feet dis-
tant from each other. VVith this arrange-
mom every thing could be distitictlyheard
that passedin the two rooms, but nothing
seen. Before Giovanni and Ermanni: were
installed in their studies, they received a
solemn injunction that they were not to,
speak altough they might sing and prac-
tice on their instruments as much as they
pleased ; but if either spoke, or made their
names known to the invisible neighbour,
the paternal love was forever forfcited.—-
Tlie fathers kncv. they could rely oti the
most implicit obedience from children who
had been brought tip in the utmost rever-
ence for their authority.
Nothing could be rriorc enchanting than
the figure ofErminia,when she. first listen-
ed to the notes which Giovannidrew from
his instrumeiit, and the air he sungwith the
most thrilling voice the iiioincnt after.—-
Under the first impression ofastonislimcnt,
she was on thepoint of inquiring aloud
who was the inusician that A owned so
divine a._voice ; the remembrance of her
father’:-. injunction, however, restrained her
in time. When he paused, she flow to the
piano, and, in her ttirn, made Giovanni,
who was unconscious that a living being .
was near hint, stand like the statue of sur-
prise, with open lips and attentive cars,
drinking in the sweetest female voice he

went on, day after day, holding a musical
dialogue without exchanging a word of con-
versation. Thcy became desperately in
love with eachotherand passed all their
iter-
If they were invited to a concert
or ball, and torn front the beloved apart-
ments, it was lamented in pailietic adugios
next day, as the most dire intsfortuiic.
Theinystory that enveloped tlirse dear
apartments gave a singular interest to iliem.
Giovanni and Erminia had been edllcfllcd.
at a distance from liome,and had bee!) Pm‘
poselyleft in ignorance that their fathers
were intimately acquainted; and though
the two niusic—rc-onisjoiiicd together at the
back ofthe houses, the fronts were in dif-
ferent and apparcritly distant streets. The
lovers had not the slightest clue to guess at
each other. Sometimes Einiinia thought
her lover was a spirit ; and when the thril-
ling sound of his voice seemed to float tx-
round her, she lialffell a Sel'lS£lllOll of fear.
Although she was forbidden to answer liiui,
it was strange,she tlio’t,lliat liedid not speak
to her. All this mysticism threw a‘stro.ng-
erspull about her; and the fair himiiitu
lived in me ideal world-—a worl-.l of sound,
devoted to a lover who could only be ap-
pm;,_.;l,.ed by the ear. The latlters saw the
cliarin work, and were delighted with tli_e
success oftlieirstrntagcni. Meantime, Gio-
vmmi became a poet ; lllitllllg no other
way of declaring his passion to his invisible
ericliaiitress,lie composed the roost touching
ballads of rotnaiices, in which he described
his torinents and bewailed his extraordina-
ry destiny; these he arranged to sweet
tnusic and sung with the most intpassioiied
feeling. What could Erminia do but take
the saiiie method to answer this lyrical
declaration, by stanzas expressing her sett-
sibility to the love she had inspired? The
rules ofpoetry were not very well obsci vcd,
and would not, perhaps, have stood the
test oftlte critics of Della Ctusca; but in
[a ballot Tuscana, all words are soft and
musical.
After this fanciful attachment had sub-
sisted a long time the lovers were inform-
ed that their parents had entered into “ti
matrimonial engagement for them.” But
each inaiiifeszed the utmost repugnaiice to
marriage; they were actually introduced
to each other as intruded spouses ; and
though their eyes were evidently attracted,
and Giovanni was observed to start at the
sound ofErininia’s voice when she first
spoke, yet they coldly avoided all conver-
sation and iiitercoutse.
‘Is it possible,’ said Signor Mancini, to
his friend, “that their hearts do not mutu-
ally speak, and declare ‘I am in the pres-
ence ofthc person I love? It is plain
that what is called sympatliy is it word
void of sense l”
When the lovers were able to detach
themselves from this annoying intercourse,
each fled to their studio, where they im-
provisatised a duo in which—they vowed,
with great energy, never to break the pro-
mises that hound them to one another.
The fathers were now convinced that
they meant to be faithful to the passion to
which sweet sounds had given birth, and
prepared to play the dezzouement of this
musical drama. The draperies that sep-
arated tlio two apartments were so disposed
as to fall at the slightest touch, and the
screen was withdrawn from the iron gra-
ting. The two lovers were ordered to at-
tire themselves in a dress that set offtheir
persons to the greatest advantage. Signor
Alditii gave" his son a piece of music he
wished to practice before him in his music-
rooni ; Signor Mancini made the same rc-
qucst to his daughter, to sing in their
presence in their favorite studio. The
parents gave a signal that had been
previously arranged between them, and
when the duo commenced, the astonish-
ed lovers foundt hemselves answered by
each other and that the song expressed
vows of eternal love. Overcome by this
singular coincidence in the presence of
her father, Erniinia' voice became suffoca-
led 3 She leaned her hand upon her instru-
ment, and her sobs became audible, which
were answered by the sighs of Giovantii.
At that moinciit Signor Aldini caused the
tapestry to fall. Surprised at the sudden
alteration, Errninia raised her head, and
for the first. time beheld who was the in-
hahilant of the adjoining apartment: they
flew to each other, but the grating still kept
them separate. A few words served to
explain the stratagem of their fathers, and
the pair now saw those beziuliess in the
persons of one another to which prepos-
session had before rendered them itidilfer-
eiit.
Iii_tlie coui'se, ofalong and happy union,
if any ofthose little clouds ever arose that
sometimes shade the brightest prospects,
Erminia never had recourse to any other
expression of uneasiness than improvisati-
sing a few stanzas to her instrument, which
never failed oftouching and softening the
heart of her husband.

of modern times. The wish ofArc'liimides

choicest blessings oflife, which we could

Had this great source of public instruc-
tion and information existed in the old
world, how different might have been its
destiny, and how rich the lessons of expe-

would beat newspaper, printed at the epoch
of some of those memorable events which
come down to us in “thoughts that breathe,
and ivordsthat born.” A Gazette ofSpar-
ta or ofAthens, when Xerxes was upon
the Hellespont, or Leonidas at Thermop-
ylm, would be a treasure far beyond the
marble monuments which yet look out up-
on the ruins around them. The hopes,
the fears, the efforts, the sacrifices of
Greece, would be before its, not distin-
guished in the impassioned strains of her
poets, nor in the eloquent but partial tiar-
ratives of her historiaiis, but as they mark-
ed the approaching danger and the altera-
tions ol'popo_lgi-f_eelino.”

Q UA C KERY.
A good deal of interest has lately been ex-
cited in London by a Coronet-‘s Inquest on
the body of a young lady allcdged to have
died in consequence ofthc trcatiiicrit ofa cer-
tain quack doctor, a Mr. St John Long. The
report of the proceedings in the case are of
great length, but the story briefly stated may
not be without interest to our readers. It
seems that this Mr. St. John Long, sitice he
took up the practice of medicine, or rather
since he discovered aiiostrum for the cure
of all sorts of ills that flesh is heir to, has re.-
pidly acquircd agreat fortune, and lives in
elegant style in Cavendish square. His pa-
tients were not exclusively the ignorant, but.
among them were many persons dtstioguish-
ed both for rank and talents, persons who
would not be supposed likely to be taken in
by a mountcbank. In the list of“witnesses
who gave evidence /IR ..,l;.is_ -favor are such
names as Sir Francis, ]3ii,i:d’t?tt', the Marquis
-and l\'lai'cliioncss of Orinond, the Countess of
Buclttngliaiitsliire, &c.
The circumstance which occasioned inqui-
ry into the particulars ofMr. St. .lohn’s mode
of cure was the death of one of his patients,
in coriscqucnce as it was strongly suspected,
of his treatment. The deceased was a young
lady, who though perfectly well, yet being
apprehensive of a tendency _ to consumption,
applied to Mr Long, in consequence of his
having given out that he could prevent any
disease with which a person was likely to be
treating the patient according to a particular-
system. He accordingly made an incision in
her back, which was afterwards daily wash-
ed by a female assistant with a certain ..secrct
inf'all:ble lotion, which had indeed the effect
to prevent consumption, for the wound soon
mortified, and the young lady expired in g‘rea,l
agony. A short time before her death she
was visited by Mr. St. Joltn Long. at the iti-
stance of the lady in whose house the two‘ci-e-
dulous young wotuen lodged, who in her ev-
ideuce, stated that she had found the deceas-
ed, going into her room that morning‘, in great
agony, “ and on looking at her back saw it
was in a state too shocking to describe 3 that.
Mr. Long called the same evening, and-said‘ ,
the ‘wound was just what it ought to be, and
‘ he would give one hundred guineas if he
cotild producea similar wound upon the per-
sons of some ofhis patients ;’ that on one part
was a particularly ugly looking spot, which
Mr. Long said was in consequence of inhaling,
which was a part of his syst‘.eni.” But the’
poor young woman continued to get worse,
and at last Mr. Brodie, an eminent stir-g-eon,
was sent for, who at one declared that morti-
fication had taketi place. in a day or two
after she died. The body unrlerweiit exam-
ination before several eminent. medical men.
